From early childhood I was fettered with the belief that I had inherited organic heart disease. I never knew what it was to be able to enjoy tennis, swimming, and other sports, and I often wondered why God who is Love had made me different from other children. Many bitter tears were shed because I could not understand. After leaving school I took up the necessary training for the teaching profession, only to find after two years that had to be given up also because I could not stand the strain. I had treatment and advice through the years from fourteen different doctors, and each one lovingly and sympathetically told me that I should always be the same and that I must just live quietly, take part in no strenuous exercise, and avoid hilly country. Thus I missed much joy and the pleasure of visiting beautiful scenery.

In 1924 I was sent to the city hospital with diphtheria. The antitoxin administered appeared to cause a very aggravated condition of the heart and a long illness followed. According to the medical view, for thirteen months I was kept going by taking a very powerful medicine.

In September, 1925, I borrowed the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and in six weeks I found myself able to take a four and a half mile walk without feeling any fatigue. In October my gratitude for the increased strength was so great that I felt I must become an earnest student of Christian Science, and I purchased the textbook.
